A round of 👏🏽 for all involved! LOVING this art for Season 2 of @diarrafromdetroitofficial! Yes, it's giving mystery and adventure vibes. Tune it to get all the vibes and 🔥 sauce. Season 2 is EVERYTHING! Of course the glam is beautiful, summer, skin and fun ✨ But the scripts and cast are GIVING! Stream, binge and share! I laughed out loud reading these scripts everyday. Sometimes cried. It's such a clever and smart show. It's a genre-bender (as I like to say) because it's hilarious, dramatic, action, adventure, romantic. So excited! So proud! #grateful by @quintessencemua

I made a quick trip to NOLA for the first time! I will be back to experience more of the city soon. @ummmdawn was the best host! @ryandestiny "."So much work happens behind the scenes to create moments like this. Ryan brought so much of her natural swag to this tribute. Which is why watching from the audience, she really gave us the Aaliyah mystic we love & miss so much. Its natural. It really made me feel the void of Aaliyah's impact on music and the culture too. The working relationship behind the scenes with her family and team is another parallel shared with Aaliyah too. So much love! Work ethic 💪🏽This tribute was a moment! Shout out to @karlkani! Shout out to Aaliyah's OG dancers and band who were amazing! They are a HUGE part of the legacy. So glad they were included. Everyone that curated the tribute, produced, contributed, it was done with love & care! @missymisdemeanorelliott @fatima_noir 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽All the performers brought an aspect of Aaliyah's artistry to life, in their own way! They were all sooo good! Every song was nostalgic and a hit. Aaliyah's albums could drop today and top the charts. That's iconic! That's special! #essence #essencefest #aaliyah #aaliyahtribute #ryandestiny by @quintessencemua

Catch up on Season 1 NOW‼️ Season 2 is coming July 29th & it will not disappoint! We had fun on this one 💄💅🏽Summer in Detroit and the cast is outside! Lots of bold colors, skin, dewy, sticky and 🔥Many thanks to the team: Emily Coughlin & @keistrokes and the artists that came to play. I appreciate you all weathering the storms and the heat ❤️ The writing is sooooo good! The cast is AMAZING! If you're not already watching, it will be your new favorite show for sure. Let the adventures begin 🕵🏾"Paramount+ has set a midsummer date for the Season 2 premiere of Diarra from Detroit. The eight-episode season will debut with two episodes on Wednesday, July 29, followed by one new episode weekly through September 9. The streamer also released some first-look photos which you can see above and below.Created by and starring Kilpatrick, season two finds Diarra Brickland (Kilpatrick) trying — unsuccessfully — to have a hot girl summer without getting wrapped up in yet another deeply unserious and extremely dangerous Detroit mystery. This time around, what starts as a seemingly harmless furniture recovery mission quickly spirals into a triple homicide investigation, a citywide treasure hunt and another trip deep into Detroit's criminal underbelly. As Diarra attempts to sort out her messy relationship status, she instead finds herself going undercover with a secret society, starring in a Tubi movie, chasing urban legends, dodging gang warfare, and uncovering secrets buried beneath the city itself". #Detroit #diarrafromdetroit #Season2 #summervibes☀️ by @quintessencemua

Merde 💕🩰"Saying "merde" is a way to wish for a successful, full show by referencing the abundant "merde" outside instead of "Break a Leg". In the dance world it means wishing all the best or good luck.#Prima #ComingSoon #Film #Ballet #Movie by @quintessencemua

It was a honor to be a part of the creative process and bearing witness to all that she does to create the show 🤯Thank you @diarraoni & @milesorion1 for having me! Thanks to those who introduced my name into the conversation. Shout out to our hardworking crew! We appreciate everyone who supported our department each and everyday!Much love to all the creatives - @derekjhair & the hair team! @dashncredible for your hardwork! @dominique_dawson Costume designer & team!
